Long pole is the way to go but..... if you dont get a light weight one you will hate life! Ozark and BnM Sam Heatons is what I would go with, I like 11 footers but a 10 will work great as well. Truman I use braid only! Power Pro 10 pound is hard to beat. I'm a line watcher so I like a lighter line what will go limp if a crappie looks at it wrong.
For jigs heads 2 8ths is the most I use. (slow trolling/ wind) I like single 8th or single 16th for everything else. I tip I tell everyone in my boat and trust me it works. If you keep your line straight up and down 90 degrees, you will not get hung up half as much but as soon as your line goes off the 90 degree mark your done lol
In our government-controlled schools we are taught that Lincoln was our greatest president because his war ended slavery and saved the Union. As usual, the other side of the story – the side that reflects poorly on the government – somehow gets lost. – Richard J. Maybury, The Abe Lincoln Hoax
